What I Learned In My Academic Integrity

On a research paper, how much information can you “borrow” with or without citing the original author?  How do you cite the resources you “borrowed” or quoted from the original author?  Will anyone know if you submit a friend’s research paper?  No one can see you taking an online test from your living room – should that change how you take a test?

My actions violated the core value of honesty. I was not honest to myself, Teddy Bobby, teachers and Fenn. If I was honest and looked at the facts I would have done something about it. By doing that I would have realized the full magnitude of what I'm doing and how wrong it is.

I have demonstrated honesty with my cooperating teacher and to students by not lying. Truly I have been honest

Academically, this incident has affected my overall grade point average; however, my first semester at UNK was one of the hardest transitions I’ve overcome, throughout my life. As I am

Early in my sophomore year of college, I was involved in a three-car-accident. It resulted in me having a mild concussion and my home life was negatively affected due to the financial and emotional burden of the accident. It also affected my academic career, more specifically my advanced Organic Chemistry course. I managed to obtain a B in the course, and a B+ in the accompanying lab/recitation course. I was encouraged to switch out of honors Organic Chemistry and into a “less stressful” Organic Chemistry course my fellow peers were enrolled in by family members and faculty members. However, my love for chemistry and a challenge steered me away from taking the easy route. I remained in my Organic Chemistry course, despite everyone’s wishes.

October 1, 2016, I was caught at the homecoming dance with alcohol; as a result, I had out of school suspension for one day. To this day, I do not know why I brought alcohol to the dance; it was a dumb careless choice that was completely out of character. In this act, I disappointed my parents and most importantly myself. I soon learned that my independence has caused me to be toughest on myself; moreover, the idea of jeopardizing my future, reputation, and others’ trust pained me. To say I was disappointed in myself is an understatement. The weekend of the dance I wrote myself a promise. I promised to be a person my brother can always look up to and never question; I promised to be someone my parents are proud of and continuously certain

I'm not sure if you have heard yet, but Friday night's football game I made some really bad decisions that I completely regret. I have been suspended for ten days and I know there are no excuses for my behavior, but I really was not thinking. I have a lot of problems at home right now, too many to count, and I just thought that since several other people were doing it that it was okay. I really don't want to be thought of as a student that has done anything like this before because it is really out of character. I just don't want to be judged by one stupid decision I made (that I feel absolutely horrible about and will not do again). I know I can only receive fifty percent on all my work, but I am still going to work really hard to stay caught

I have taken full responsibility for my actions and I understand that what happened was completely wrong. I also understand that I could have possibly ruined my future. This is why I am doing everything in my power to stay focused and on track. From this experience, I learned that as people we will fall short sometimes and make decisions that are not the best for ourselves. However, this experience is one that I have added

Through this experience I’ve learned a valuable lesson and as a result I do plan to follow the following steps to guarantee my academic

I am a former student of King College Prep. While at King, I maintained a 4.5 gpa, number 3 out of the entire class of 2019, one of the newest members of the National Honors Society, a cymbal player on King College Prep Marching Band, and I almost always maintained a 95% or better attendance record, if not perfect attendance. I did not involve myself in much conflict throughout my two years at King. I was involved in one incident toward the beginning of sophomore year which lead to me leaving the following school year. I’ve had much time to self reflect, and I have came to realize that the behavior in which I handled the situation was not the best and it could have been others way to resolve my issues. Overall, I do not feel like my behavior

I apologize for not being able to make it to campus to meet with the board of managers in person. I have relocated to Pittsburgh to take some time to better myself. I could have done a lot better this past semester. However I had a lot of outside forces that distracted me and caused me to not perform to the best of my ability. During this past semester I was in an abusive relationship and it completely drained me. I tried counseling in Harrisburg because some of the issues I was tolerating were too embarrassing to talk about and then see that same counselor as I walk around campus. So I decided to travel to Harrisburg every weekend to go to counseling at the T.W Ponessa and associates. He also found a way to make me stop counseling, I was in such a dark place and I had no motivation to do

Now, I consider myself a highly-accomplished student. After four years of strenuous work all throughout high school, weeks of constant sleep deprivation, and serving as the Commanding Officer of the second best NJROTC unit in the state of Texas, I received a full ride scholarship. Furthermore, my strong work ethic and desire to succeed carried over to college. Little did I know though, that one seemingly small mistake, could rob me of all the years I spent building up towards my success.

I resumed my legal education at Florida A&M University College of Law, but sadly disaster struck again. I, once again, was dismissed from law school after my first semester. This time, my mother’s health had nothing to do with my dismissal from law school. A different type of life event, a case of infidelity, adversely affected my overall academic performance. As a man who is a true gentleman, I will not provide much context or detail about the nature of the infidelity. I relocated to Florida along with my ex-fiancée. Apparently, she became enamored with another man who lived in the same complex building we lived in. I found out of her unfaithfulness days before review session week. One afternoon, I decided not to remain in the law library, as accustomed, and go home early to study; and the worst-case scenario, you can imagine, occurred. Words cannot express what I felt when I discovered my ex-fiancée with her lover in my apartment. This experience was perhaps one of, if not, the most excruciatingly painful experiences I have ever endured. After this event, which happened days before review session week commenced, I was not able to remain focused enough to continue with my studies; and did not function the way I wanted to. Frankly, I was in an absent-minded state, my mind was filled with multiple thoughts, doubts, and questions, I was emotionally distraught and dealt with a variety of emotions ranging from grief, insecurity, and embarrassment to guilt; and instead of focusing on my studies I became more concerned with trying to figure out what had gone wrong in my relationship. As a result, I missed classes, group study meetings, and review sessions prior to finals; and consequently, I underperformed and paid the price, as I was academically dismissed from FAMU College of Law at the end of the semester. Believe you me, I am not the

Starting out with my earlier academic and professional experiences. In the Fall of 2012 I transfer to Radford University, where I continued my undergraduate degree, however, my GPA is not where I would like it. This is where I begin to find myself as a person and my relationship with God. Within the first year at Radford I was on academic probation because I was in a field area of medical technology that was not a good fit for me. I asked the teacher for help multiple times on different occasions and he said I can help so stay in the class, then when it came to the end of the semester. He says I cannot help it is too far gone. So I took that as an

It sounds irresponsible, but up until this point I didn’t understand the importance of making habits of studying. This is a skill that I realize is necessary and will help me as I move on to the next step in my life and go to college. Additionally, it was a way of proving to myself that any of the negative comments people had expressed to me were false. I am just as capable as anyone else in this program and have the ability to succeed in my
